Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de levage de personnes comprenant un moteur pourvu d'un arbre de sortie. Un système d'engrenage est relié fonctionnel à l'arbre de sortie en vue d'une augmentation du couple. Une lanière destinée à suspendre un poids est enroulée sur une bobine, la rotation de cette bobine permettant de déployer ou de rétracter la lanière. Une liaison d'entraînement entre le système d'engrenage et la bobine permet audit moteur d'entraîner la bobine. Un frein associé à cette bobine empêche un déploiement intempestif de la lanière à partir de la bobine lorsqu'un poids est suspendu avec cette lanière. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, on utilise un embrayage entre le frein et la transmission. Ainsi, plus le poids supporté par la bobine est élevé, plus la force de freinage est importante. Par ailleurs, un dispositif de levage et d'abaissement de secours peut être utilisé en cas de défaillance du moteur.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and systems for predicting or estimating the melting temperature of duplex nucleic acids, particularly duplexes of oligonucleotides which may be used, for example, as primers or probes in PCR and/or hybridization assays. The invention also relates to methods and systems for designing and selecting oligonucleotide probes and primers having a predicted melting temperature which is optimized for such assays. To this end, algorithms and methods are provided for predicting the melting temperature of a nucleic acid having a predetermined sequence. These methods and algorithms estimate the melting temperature of a nucleic acid duplex under particular salt conditions. The methods and algorithms use novel formulas, having terms and coefficients that are functions of the particular nucleotide sequence, to estimate the effect of particular salt conditions on the melting temperature. As such, the methods and systems of the invention provide superior result compared to existing methods, which do not consider sequence dependent effects of changing salt conditions.

Abstract: A magnetic brake actuated spring clutch has an input shaft that is rotatably mounted in a housing, a coaxial output shaft that is rotatably mounted in the housing for rotation relative to the input shaft, and a coil spring surrounding a portion of the output shaft. The coil spring has one end attached to the input shaft and an opposite end attached to a rotor of a magnetic brake. The rotor is journalled on the output shaft, and the magnetic brake further includes a stator that is secured in the housing. The stator includes a permanent magnet and the rotor includes a copper plate that is juxtaposed the permanent magnet. The coil spring has a first part that is wound in one direction and a coaxial second part that is wound in an opposite direction so that the input shaft drives the output shaft in either direction when the spring clutch is engaged by input shaft via the magnetic brake. Alternatively, the stator may include a pair of spaced opposed magnets that are juxtaposed either side of the copper plate. A simple coil spring wound in one direction can be used to provide a one-way magnetic brake actuated spring clutch.

Abstract: Techniques for facilitating random access in wireless multiple-access communication systems. A random access channel (RACH) is defined to comprise a "fast" RACH (F-RACH) and a "slow" RACH (S-RACH). The F-RACH and S-RACH can efficiently support user terminals in different operating states and employ different designs. The F-RACH can be used to quickly access the system, and the S-RACH is more robust and can support user terminals in various operating states and conditions. The F-RACH may be used by user terminals that have registered with the system and can compensate for their round trip delays (RTDs) by properly advancing their transmit timing. The S-RACH may be used by user terminals that may or may not have registered with the system, and may or may not be able to compensate for their RTDs. The user terminals may use the F-RACH or S-RACH, or both, to gain access to the system.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de détermination de la possibilité d'observer un évènement. L'évènement peut se produire de manière isolée ou en combinaison avec un ou plusieurs autres évènements. Le procédé peut être non combinatoire en ce qu'il ne nécessite pas de calcul séparé pour chaque évènement se produisant simultanément, réduisant ainsi de manière significative le temps de calcul pour des systèmes complexes dans lesquels se produisent de multiples évènements. De plus, le procédé peut être numériquement inversé pour calculer la probabilité d'un évènement se produisant en fonction du nombre d'observations. Ce procédé sert, en particulier, à prévoir la disponibilité, les défaillances des composants, ou la possibilité d'un faux départ dans des systèmes de production.

Abstract: A control device for a vehicle power steering apparatus or
system is improved for providing preferable steering convergency even
under the execution of vehicle stability control (VSC), while ensuring the steering smoothness under
normal running conditions. In the control device, the target value of a total
modification torque to be added as steering torque by a power
steering apparatus is calculated based upon a steering assist torque
calculated based upon at least the steering torque a steering converging torque
based upon a steering velocity and a behavioral deterioration-suppressing
torque for suppressing unwanted steering motions which would cause
further deterioration of a vehicle behavior under oversteered or
understeered conditions. In this calculation, when a predetermined
condition is satisfied, the degree of contribution of the target value of the
behavioral deterioration-suppressing torque to the target value of the total
modification torque is rendered higher than the degree of contribution of the
target value of the steering converging torque to the target value of the total
modification torque.
